Hitching out

Heading East or South

Innsbruck towards Salzburg, Rosenheim, Munich Starting point is Exit Innbruck Ost (East), at the fuel stations on the very end of Amraser Straße, next to the DEZ shopping mall.

Getting there by bus: Line D exit DEZ, or line T exit DEZ Ost, and walk the last few meters towards the biggest road closeby. Check Fahrplan The bus takes you 1.70€ (Summer 2008). A sign indicating your desired direction might help you getting along. Good luck!


Kufstein towards Munich, Salzburg (and probably also South) From the train station (e.g. because you took a cheap train from a city like Trento in Italy) you have to take the second street on the left. After a while you'll see a sign that says Munich. You can easily hitch on that road already. Guaka was quickly picked up and dropped off at a round-about for the highway entrance. Here you only have to go a short distance to get at Raststaette Inntal.


Heading North or West

Innsbruck towards Landeck, Reutte, Füssen, Kempten, Scharnitz, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Munich) There are several opportunities in Innsbruck but no real "first choice" option. So here is one: Highway exit Innsbruck Kranebitten, This a a lonely highway exit in the very west of Innsbruck with a free Space just in the middle of the different lanes joining together in the direction of Bregenz and Germany. It is not a nice spot but it works!

Getting there by bus Take line T of the IVB Busses running towards "EKZ CYTA" a suburban shopping center. You are passing the highway exit by bus just after crossing the Inn River bridge. Get of the Bus at EKZ Cyta, get all you need at the shopping center and walk back to the highway exit, which comes first after the roundabout. Watch Fahrplan The bus takes you 1.70€ (Summer 2008).A sign indicating your desired direction might help you getting along. Good luck!

Just a kilometer after you enter the highway, the road splits up - one minor road running north directly to Germany (Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Munich) and the highway continuing to run west - make sure you are in the desired direction!
